Nick and I decided to stop for a night in Boston on our way to Maine because we’d be leaving in the evening on Friday and we didn’t want to be driving until midnight. One of the things I love doing before a big trip is researching places to stay and last week was no different. We were potentially going to stay with one of my friends who lives in Boston but a week before the trip, we decided to get a room somewhere. I started my usual searches on HotelTonight and Booking.com, narrowing the price ... VIEW POST
A Review of The Revolution Hotel in Boston
What You Should Know Before You Go To Tennessee
A pricey almond milk mocha from Bongo Coffee in 12 South. I spent last week in Memphis and Nashville. Well, almost a week. I knew after going to Denver for four days last fall that although I really enjoyed going to Denver, there wasn’t enough there for me to do to stay FOUR DAYS. After researching what I wanted to see in each city, I decided 2.5 days in each would be more than enough. Unrelated: If you ever have the opportunity to go to Memphis OR Nashville, I’d strongly suggest you go to ... VIEW POST
What I Ate at Hattie B’s as a Vegetarian
The #1 question I got from friends and family was, “How are you going to eat down there??” If you’re new here, I’m a vegetarian. Hence why people were asking what I was planning on eating in the land of fried chicken. It really blows me my mind how hard people think it is to be a vegetarian in general. Spoiler: It's not. I digress: Shockingly it wasn’t that hard to find food to eat. Even at the famous Hattie B’s in Nashville. Hattie B’s is *the* place to go for fried chicken in Nashville (or ... VIEW POST
The Best Ghost Signs in Denver, Colorado
I knew nothing about the history of Denver before I arrived in Colorado last October. I had no idea when the city was founded (in 1958!) or that once the newcomers settled down, they first established bars and right after that they built brothels making Market Street into Denver's Red Light District. So, given the hundreds of years that Denver has been in existence, it makes sense that there'd be a good number of ghost signs around one of the most historic parts of the city - Lower Downtown. ...

The 200-Year-Old Haunted Well in NYC
In October 2016, as per usual, I was binging the Halloween episodes of the New York City history podcast The Bowery Boys and I re-listened to the episode where they talk about the 200-year-old haunted well in NYC. Then the week before Halloween, I convinced the guy I was dating at the time to walk around the Village and go to a bunch of the supposedly haunted sites that they talked about in their episodes. (He was a good sport.) One of the locations was at a store named COS on Spring Street in ... VIEW POST
The Best Restaurants, Bars, and Cafes in New York City
Happy New Year everyone! I thought I'd kick this year off right: with restaurant recommendations. I've lived in New York City for over 14 years and I've been able to spot the gems here and there. I wanted to put it all in one spot for you to reference in case you plan on traveling to New York City in 2019 (which you totally should). Here goes: Upper East Side: Heidi's House: This little hole-in-the-wall (literally) is located on East 78th Street, just east of 2nd Avenue. You'd ... VIEW POST
